Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 36 vanilla Oreo cookies
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
Cheesecake Layer
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tub (8 ounces) whipped topping, thawed
- 1 tablespoon holiday sprinkles
Pudding Layer
- 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant cheesecake pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
Topping
- 1 tub (8 ounces) whipped topping, thawed
- 1 tablespoon holiday sprinkles
- 12 vanilla Oreo cookies for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Crush the Cookies: Place 36 vanilla Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed, or place them in a sealed plastic bag and gently crush with a rolling pin.
- Combine with Butter: In a medium bowl, mix the crushed cookies with 6 tablespoons melted butter until evenly coated.
- Form the Crust: Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to create a crust layer. Refrigerate to chill while preparing the filling.
- Beat Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces softened cream cheese with 1 cup powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in one tub (8 ounces) of whipped topping and 1 tablespoon of holiday sprinkles until well combined.
- Spread the Cheesecake Layer: Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the chilled cookie crust in the baking dish.
- Make the Pudding: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 3.4-ounce instant cheesecake pudding mix and 2 cups cold milk for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
- Spread the Pudding Layer: Carefully spread the thickened pudding over the cream cheese layer. Refrigerate for several minutes to let it set.
- Add Whipped Topping: Spread the remaining tub of whipped topping evenly over the pudding layer.
- Decorate with Sprinkles: Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon holiday sprinkles on top for a festive finish. Optionally garnish with some whole or crushed vanilla Oreo cookies or mini candy canes.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to fully set the layers.
- Serve: Cut into squares and serve chilled, garnished as desired for extra holiday cheer.
Notes
- This no-bake dessert should be kept refrigerated until serving.
- You can crush the cookies by hand if you don’t have a food processor.
- For a stronger peppermint flavor, add crushed candy canes to the topping.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easy mixing.
- Feel free to substitute holiday sprinkles with crushed nuts or chocolate chips for variation.
